The capsule was inspired by Aegean Islands imagery.

SAILING AWAY: Weekend Max Mara has teamed with Micol Sabbadini for a capsule collection that revolves around the Milanese art photographer’s images of exotic locales. For the collection, Sabbadini has drawn on the sun-drenched imagery of the Aegean Islands of whitewashed houses, marine scenery including boats, intricate mosaics and luscious Mediterranean peonies, all recreated in a collage of patterns.

The 12 pieces include dresses, trousers, shirts, skirts and accessories in shades of white, blue and pink. “The mood is European summer — coastal houses in Greece, sailboats in the sea and snatches of text I find wandering around with my camera on days off,” said Sabbadini.

Examples include a cotton poplin men’s wear-style shirt in a collage of digitally printed sailboats bordered with peonies and mosaic patterns. An allover floral pattern can be found on a pair of wide-leg, high-waisted trousers in crêpe de chine and a full-length shirt dress in cotton poplin. Silk foulard scarves and Weekend Max Mara Pasticcino bags were also revisited by Sabbadini.

In honor of Rihanna’s 30th birthday, we took a look back at an interview with the Barbados-native when she was just 18 years old. Here, she talked about her second album, “A Girl Like Me” in 2006. “I want to be me. I want people to fall in love with who Rihanna is, and that’s why I want the album to be about me so people can really find out who this girl Rihanna is, because they only know the ‘Pon de Replay’ girl.” Fast forward 12 years, and she’s released six more albums and has become a powerhouse in both the fashion and music industries. Happy birthday, @badgalriri 🎈(📷: Pavel Antonov) #wwdarchive
